I agree, we shouldn't test based on browser features or on the market importance of browsers, we should test different web features.
That said (and I know w3c doesn't like it), I don't think SVG has any market importance to be tested in depth.

Who has decided on this focus on specific browsers? I don't recall any
discussion here about it, and consider it to be deeply problematic. I
don't think the W3C should be in the business of blessing specific
implementations.
